Sam Worthington has revealed that his character Perseus has to go on a journey to become a hero in his new movie The Clash of the Titans.
Worthington leads the cast in this remake of the 1981 Desmond Davis movie of the same name in what could be one of the first must see movies of the year.
In an interview with Empire the actor said: He’s just your golden hero that you are meant to follow. And that didn’t really appeal to me. I feel when my Perseus starts out, he should be this bombastic tank.
"The gods have killed his family. He’s Charles Bronson! He’s gonna go for revenge, and the best way to do that is to kill the Kraken.
"Well to kill the Kraken, you gotta kill Medusa. To get to Medusa, you gotta take on the witches. The once he kills the Kraken, he gonna kill fuckin’ Hades and Zeus and everybody else.
"But along the way he needs to learn to calm down, ask for help. And out of that comes the true hero. A hero isn’t someone who leads men - a hero is someone that’s in the trench with the men."
It’s a swift return to the big screen for the Aussie actor after the massive success of Avatar since its release in November.
Directed by Louis Leterrier the movie boasts a great cast of Worthington, Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes, Gemma Arterton and Mads Mikkelsen.
Clash of the Titans is released 26th March
